FAISALABAD: Customs Adjudication Additional Collector Muhammad Saeed Asad ordered the release of impounded food items and a vehicle and rejected the charge-sheet of the Customs Anti-Smuggling Organization (ASO) Faisalabad against the respondent.
Customs ASO Faisalabad team intercepted a Nissan truck with registration No: TKJ-715 loaded with food items including Almond hard Irani (680-kg) and Kishmish Irani (11017-kg). The smuggled foreign origin (F/O) food items were being transported from Quetta to Faisalabad. The customs team asked the driver named Muhammad Shabaz, son of Zulifqar Ali, to produce the documents regarding the transportation of food items. He showed bilities No: 2006 and 2007 issued by M/s United Goods Transport Company.
Over finding it unsatisfactory, the team impounded the items along with the truck and forwarded the case to the adjudication.
Additional Collector Muhammad Saeed Asad heard the case where the seizing agency could not prove the charges established in the show cause notice. Therefore the Collector Adjudication issued Order-In-Original (ONO) No: 23/2017 and ordered the release of food items and the vehicle unconditionally to its lawful owner.
